Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-165:
--------------------------------------------

Patrick,

IOReactorEH defines a very simple contract: it can declare certain classes of 
exceptions as handled, which would otherwise be considered fatal. That is it. 
If a caller does not act on this information this is not a problem of the 
IOReactorEH interface. 

Anyway, you are very welcome to demonstrate a better way of doing it by 
submitting a patch.

> IOReactorExceptionHandler documentation for handle(RuntimeException ex) is 
> misleading. Specifically the documentation says :
>      @return <code>true</code> if it is safe to ignore the exception 
>      and continue execution of the I/O reactor; <code>false</code> if the
>      I/O reactor must throw [EMAIL PROTECTED] RuntimeException} and terminate 
> However, a CancelledKeyException should be rethrown because the BaseIOReactor 
> and the AbstractIOReactor expect and handle CancelledKeyException correctly.
> BUT -- NOT always.
> Looking at the call stack for where 
> IOReactorExceptionHandler.handle(RuntimeException) is called reveals some 
> problems.
> If a custom IOReactorExceptionHandler was to return false (indicating that 
> the CanceledKeyException was to be rethrown or to do the rethrow itself) 
> WOULD result in the IOReactor being shutdown:
>   BaseIOReactor.sessionClosed(IOSession)
>   BaseIOReactor.timeoutCheck(SelectionKey, long)
